The BRM Trans Am cars would not be competitive in the OSCAR Trans Am class. Here are the rules I found online for the OSCAR Early Trans Am Class. The BRM cars would be lacking in speed due to the less powerful motor and in handling characteristics due to basic chassis design. It would be like trying to complete against the Thunderslot cars with a stock Ninco Classic Porsche 356 Coupe!
